Following five seasons, over 100 episodes, and a number of twists and turns, Fox s sci-fi/supernatural drama series,
Fringe, came to a close in 2013. It s hard to believe that nearly a whole decade has passed since this J.J. Abrams-created series â which was considered an inspired mix of
Lost, The X-Files, and
The Twilight Zone â concluded its multi-universe story. But now that the show s finished, what is the
Fringe cast, including Anna Torv, Joshua Jackson, John Noble, and Lance Reddick, doing now? Let s find out!
Anna Torv (Olivia Dunham)
As Olivia Dunham, a young FBI agent assigned to a multi-agency government task force known as the Fringe division, Anna Torv played the lead in

We re coming up to yet another long weekend in lockdown, so Netflix is an obvious choice. Here are our picks of series (and one film) to binge.
The Laundromat
There are echoes of Steven Soderbergh’s Oscar-winning 2000 film
Erin Brockovich in his newest film just for Netflix, that of an unlikely and underestimated woman (in this case, the great Meryl Streep) who attempts to take on and bring down an insurance fraud scheme. Based on Jake Bernstein’s book
Secrecy World: Inside the Panama Papers Investigation of Illicit Money Networks and the Global Elite,
The Laundromat stars Meryl Streep as a widow who investigates a massive insurance-fraud scheme that’s benefiting a network of super-rich people around the world. With a supporting cast that includes Gary Oldman, Antonio Banderas and Sharon Stone, you just know you’re in for a treat.
On March 12, producer and multi-instrumentalist Lorenzo Wolff will release
Down Where the Valleys Are Low: Another Otherworld for Judee Sill, a tribute album for the late singer-songwriter Judee Sill. Guests on the album include Bartees Strange, Bobby Hawk, Osei Essed, Mary-Elaine Jenkins, Grace McLean, Kate Ferber, Emily Holden, and Michael Cerveris. Below, listen to Wolff and Bartees Strangeâs take on âThe Pearlâ from Sillâs 1973 album
âIâve pushed dirtier, more earthbound elements to the forefront, and used Sillâs words and melodies as parts of a portrait illuminating the angry, cruel, beautiful, complicated, dangerous woman that she was,â Wolff said in a press release. âI like to picture Judee listening to this album and telling me to fuck off.â
